Identification of a Rat Model for Usher Syndrome Type 1B by N-Ethyl-N-nitrosourea Mutagenesis-Driven Forward Genetics
... The rat is the most extensively studied model organism and is broadly used in biomedical research. Current rat disease models are selected from existing strains and their number is thereby limited by the degree of ...

Comprehensive molecular diagnosis of 67 Chinese Usher syndrome probands: high rate of ethnicity specific mutations in Chinese USH patients
... Usher Syndrome (USH) is the most common disease of combined deafness and blindness. It is characterized by sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), retinitis pigmentosa (RP), and manifests with or without ...

Preimplantation genetic testing for a family with usher syndrome through targeted sequencing and haplotype analysis
... Usher syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder and when both parents are carriers for Usher syndrome, each child has a 1 in 4 (25%) chance of inheriting the two changed gene copies, but the ...

Clarin 1 gene transfer rescues auditory synaptopathy in model of Usher syndrome
... We then investigated the possible involvement of other IHC synaptic proteins in the protein complex containing Ca V 1.3 chan- nels and clarin-1. Clarin-1 contains a C-terminal class II PDZ- binding motif (PBM type II). ...

PDZD7 is a modifier of retinal disease and a contributor to digenic Usher syndrome

Targeted next generation sequencing for molecular diagnosis of Usher syndrome
... Traditionally, the molecular diagnosis of Usher syn- drome has been mainly based on Sanger sequencing [25,26]. However, the large size of most USH genes (above 350 exons in total) makes this technique expensive ...
15
Complete exon sequencing of all known Usher syndrome genes greatly improves molecular diagnosis
... One USH1 and two USH2 patients were heterozygotes for mutations in two or three USH genes, suggesting a possible digenic/oligogenic inheritance of the syndrome. In the USH2 patients, however, segregation analysis ...

Overcoming barriers to the involvement of deafblind people in conversations about research: recommendations from individuals with Usher syndrome
... There is evidence that in the past sight and/or hearing impairments have been used to exclude potential partici- pants from taking up opportunities to enrol in research [9 – 11]. The PaRticipation of the ElDerly In ...

Cerebrospinal fluid level of Nogo receptor 1 antagonist lateral olfactory tract usher substance (LOTUS) correlates inversely with the extent of neuroinflammation
... Recently, we showed that lateral olfactory tract usher substance (LOTUS, also called Crtac1B) is critical for axonal growth. LOTUS acts as a Nogo receptor 1 (NgR1) antagonist, preventing Nogo from binding to NgR1 ...
